Using PHP to post the contents of an email to MySql database

Hi Guys, I recently read an email entitled "Can a PHP program receive an e-mail and write it to a file???" in the PHP archives (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=97986044121868&w=2) and wanted to ask a follow up question. I'm a novice programmer, new to PHP, and unfamiliar with the ways in which to access the Standard Input for a PHP program. Can anyone provide me with some examples or online reference material as to how I can go about doing this. For example, is there a particular variable or function that I should call? Or, is there something that needs to be initialized? P.S. Thanks, in advance, for all of your help and assistance.
